I recently had the privilege of attending the final concert of the “Music for Peace” educational foundation, a truly remarkable event that left me inspired and hopeful. Yerevan Mayor, Tigran Avinyan, took to his Facebook page to express his thoughts and emotions about this unique foundation and its impact.

The foundation, founded by Director Sergey Smbatyan, serves as a platform to discover, educate, and support talented musicians, singers, and artists from all corners of the world. Its mission encompasses providing education, scholarships, and international opportunities for young musicians, singers, and representatives of the arts, thereby promoting comprehensive cultural development. It truly is a testament to the power of music in bridging the gaps between different cultures and promoting peace.

Mayor Avinyan expressed his delight at being part of such an essential educational project. This initiative serves as not only a platform for budding artists but also as a beacon of hope for a brighter and more harmonious world. Music has the remarkable ability to transcend boundaries and unite people through its universal language. With initiatives like “Music for Peace,” we can foster a new generation of talented individuals who will use their art to create understanding, empathy, and ultimately, a more peaceful world.

As a reporter who has had the privilege of covering numerous events throughout my career, I can confidently say that the “Music for Peace” foundation stands out as a beacon of hope and inspiration. The dedication and passion of Director Sergey Smbatyan, along with the unwavering support of individuals like Mayor Avinyan, demonstrates the power of art and education in making a positive change in our society.
